Rclone mount with Dropbox, not responses

/homedropbox/test/

perhaps that should be /home/dropbox/test/

[ssun]

Sorry I deleted my account infomation from the log file before posting it here but made a typo. That part was indeed home/dropbox.

for now, best to use full paths, not to use ~, not to use relatives paths, ok?
and if you edit the log like that, makes it very hard to help......

try adding --allow-other to the mount command

[ssun]

Will be mindful of that! The system (university computing cluster) wouldn't allow for --allow-other

/home/s/ssun226/rclone mount --allow-other remote:/test/ /home/s/ssun226/dropbox/test/
2023/03/15 19:56:11 mount helper error: fusermount3: option allow_other only allowed if 'user_allow_other' is set in /etc/fuse.conf
2023/03/15 19:56:11 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: fusermount: exit status 1

Yes, I was copying log and that killed the process. I tried ~/rclone mount remote:/test/ ~/dropbox/test/ -vv
and the command window was stuck with

DEBUG : Dropbox root 'test': Checking for changes on remote

for 1 hour.

When you run rclone mount it needs to keep running in order to service the mount. So you need to run rclone mount in one login session and use it in a different session.

There are other ways to do this, but check that works first.
